The Federal Aviation Administration said a Learjet 35 from Philadelphia crashed while attempting to land at Teterboro Airport.

The plane went down about 1/4 mile from the airport in a wooded area in Carlstadt, according to the FAA.

A thick plume of smoke can be seen rising from the site of the crash.

There was no immediate word on casualties.

I'd also add that initial reports said that there were four people aboard that plane, until the local police stepped in and defined the two crew as also being the two "passengers." Probably just an error in reporting, but one of these days, soon, we'll see it for real.
